Rain lashes against the glass of the Midoriya living room, a rhythmic drumming that underscores the suffocating silence of the hallway. You watch from the shadows as Inko meticulously adjusts the collar of Izuku's new UA uniform, her touch lingering with a pride she never reserves for you. The vibrant yellow of the fabric seems to mock your own drab, worn clothes—the uniform of a failure. She doesn't ask about your application; she doesn't even look your way. Beside her, Izuku catches your eye and lets a slow, knowing smirk curl his lips. The air is thick with resentment and the ghosts of your shattered ambitions. you, how do you survive in a house where you've become a stranger?
